Kylie Jenner NOT “Using” Tyga For “Attention,” Despite Report

Kylie Jenner is not "using" Tyga for "attention." She's not "using" him for anything at all. Gossip Cop can bust this made-up report.

Although Jenner is expecting a baby with Travis Scott, HollywoodLife has written a number of stories about her pregnancy involving Tyga. Of course, he has nothing to do with the star's expectant state, which is why no reliable outlets are currently linking the exes. But this week, the website manufactured a story about Jenner being "open" to reconciling with Tyga, even though she's currently in a relationship with Scott and due to give birth to his child in the next two weeks.

This saga has no basis in reality. Nevertheless, the site is running a new piece headlined, "Kylie Jenner Using Tyga For Attention: She Feels 'Neglected' By Travis Scott." In it, HollywoodLies, as it's nicknamed, boasts that it has "exclusive details" on why Jenner "may be leaning" on Tyga as her pregnancy nears its end. A so-called "source close to Kylie" supposedly explains that the mom-to-be isn't happy with the amount of attention Scott is paying her, and when she's "upset" with him, "she starts texting Tyga."

"Travis would be shocked if he knew how much she's in contact with Tyga lately," claims the site's alleged tipster, who even contends, "There have been times she's been messaging back and forth with Tyga while Travis is in the other room." Think about this logically: HollywoodLies wants people to believe that Jenner is in secret communication with her former boyfriend behind her current beau's back and someone is publicly leaking that secret to a gossip blog. The notion is ridiculous.

Another tell-tale sign that this narrative was concocted is this line: "We aren't exactly sure when Kylie will have her baby, but we can assume it's pretty soon!" Wasn't the online publication just claiming it has a "source close to Kylie"? If that were actually the case, it should know when she's due and not have to "assume." For the record, she's due in early February, something that's been publicly known since it was first revealed back in September that Jenner is expecting.
